Piracetam product change?
Original post in this thread

My wife uses high dose piracetam to help control muscle spasms, and we've been buying piracetam powder from the site for a long time. Traditionally, it's a very fine powder. The most recent order (arrived yesterday, opened today) is much more granular, and looks like sugar or table salt instead of the powder I was expecting.
Is this an expected change?

That's just a different milling size. It's the same powder, just larger particles. Think granular sugar compared to powdered sugar. It's the same sugar, just one is crushed more. You could use a mortar and pestle to crush that piracetam up into a very fine powder if you wanted. It won't really affect much, though. Piracetam is very water soluble. So it will go into solution in your GI tract the same in granular or powder form. Generally particle size plays a role if the compound has a hard time dissolving in water, which is not really the case for piracetam.
